==Overview==
Campaign Labour is designed to collect data into one source for easy searching. The search facilities in a wiki ensure that users can answer questions with a simple search. For example if asked what Labour's stance on Fracking is, then the information can be easily checked by carrying out a search for "Fracking". In seconds the result will show as below:-
Line 17 ⟶ 19:
==Content==
The Home Page ([[Main Page]]) provides access to all the pages within the Wiki, using links. Below is an explanation of the 3 main areas of the wiki and what they provide. Carrying out a search from a particular page will search the whole wiki, not just the section the user is in.
Campaign Labour is divided into 3 areas.
Line 29 ⟶ 31:
* '''''[[Articles and Analysis]]''''' provides articles that give further insight into Labour policies, global politics and background data that underlines the need for progressive politics.
** Should be a very dynamic area.
** A number of editors will be adding to this section, the idea being that given media publications look after
** It is not intended for this area to become a dumping ground for every article that is produced by the media whether that be the old media or the new independent media. Although there will be an expectation for media providers to update these pages, they will be monitored and if the facility is being abused then the right to edit will be revoked.
** Articles should support campaigning.
Line 36 ⟶ 38:
* '''''[[Conservative Policy Impact]]''''' provides a detailed analysis of the devastating impact that Tory policy is having in the UK and globally.
** Broken down into sections that cover Education, Housing, the NHS, Public services etc. The main page for this area provides quick overviews of the latest activity that is impacting the welfare of the country.
** The sections give detailed analysis
** Information presented in this area must be sourced
*** Headlines that create an impact but are not based on facts will be removed. For example a recent meme that did the circuit stated that the Tories have closed 1250 Jobcentres. This has a impact as a headline but it is blatantly untrue, as a figure of 1250 closed Jobcentres will mean that the UK now has -400.
*** Headlines that could well be true but have no source evidence will be removed.
Line 44 ⟶ 46:
** If a challenge to the data is correct, alter the data or remove if applicable.

If you wish to contribute to this wiki, you may be deterred due to your lack of knowledge of creating wiki pages. Campaign Labour has a number of admins who can assist you. For example you can create an article in a format you feel comfortable with, email it to an admin and then an admin will format it for the wiki. See the section [[#How you can contribute]] for more details of the kind of contribution that is helpful to the wiki.
Campaign Labour is written using a
==How you can contribute==
Contributions to the wiki are
The wiki will include links to media but these will be monitored to ensure it doesn't become a newsfeed service. Articles need to be very specific to UK campaigning. This doesn't exclude articles about political activity abroad, but an article highlighting a new policy introduced in the US to, for example, restrict immigration, would not qualify as an article that supported UK campaigning.
Line 62:
* '''''Inclusion in Blogs, Webpages and specific articles'''''. The more web sites that link to the wiki, the more likely it is to rise in search engines. Part of the algorithms of search engines is to look at what links to the wiki and if it is linked to from many sources, this will push it up the search priority of the engine.
* '''''Share from the wiki.''''' If somebody asks a question in a social group, don't necessarily collect the information from the wiki and then share the source. It will promote the wiki if you share the link to the Campaign-Labour wiki where the source material is referenced. This spreads the wiki to a larger audience and helps it to be more successful
* '''''We love Wiki gurus'''''. Campaign-Labour has been created by volunteers who are intent on spreading the message - we need a Labour government. That means that we have learnt how to use wiki on the fly. This will become obvious to a wiki guru with just a quick
'''Note:''' Although many pages are still incomplete, where possible we have broken them down into sections. This allows contributors to pcik up a single section to work on, rather than feeling overwhelmed by having to cover the whole subject from end to end.
===How to Contribute===
Not everybody will want to edit directly into the wiki. It takes some skill to edit the wiki. Writing pages of text is pretty straightforward, but once you want to add formatting, links or pictures, it starts to become a little more complex. Below is how you can contribute:
* Write an article in a application you are comfortable with and submit it by email. To provide content for the wiki, you must make an initial contact using the [[Special:EmailUser/
** What your article is about.
** Which section you would like it adding to.
** If you wish to add it yourself, then provide evidence of your support for the Labour party as outlined below.
* You can become a direct contributor (add content directly to the wiki). To do so the following is required:
** A member of the Labour party
** Evidence of your support for the Party. For example, Facebook groups you are a member of that support the Party.
As can be appreciated we have to be very careful who edits pages on Campaign-Labour. If you are not accepted to add content, please understand that it is due to our uncertainty based on the evidence available to us. Though it may appear that the rules are strict, we actually don't need too much evidence. We will tend to lean towards giving the benefit of the doubt because if we do get a rogue editor, we can easily remove them and roll back to the original state.
'''Note:''' If you wish to become a contributor to the wiki, you will need to be a "User". This is important for a number of reasons:
